ErgoMechKeyboards
Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Hey! Nice to see you here! Thanks again for your awesome design. Once I have some more spare time, I'm going to make a revision of my board that I based on Cheapino, that will fix the mistake with the RJ45 and some things I wanted to add, and I will open source my design (gotta come up with a name too, and maybe some silkscreen art). Once I do that and test the new prototype, I might apply the same fixes to Cheapino. Would you be interested in a pull request? Again, I don't want to promise anything, since I have very little spare time lately, but I think your board is awesome and it would be awesome if we made it a little easier for people trying to build it.
Of course, that would be awesome. I am going to Make a v2, with hotswap and 5 pin support and fix some other small stuff.
The coolest thing would be if you made the reversible RJ45 available as a footprint, then anybody can use it without making the same mistake i did ;)
That's actually a neat idea. I'll try to implement it once I get to it. Thanks for the suggestion.
